Yeah, it's just dumb. Indeed, a search for "Some Guy" on the US version of google will also return somePage. To circumvent this legal provision, as a UK net user, you only have to go to http://google.com/ncr http://google.com/ncr so that you use google.com instead of google.co.uk. Once done, your search results are no longer restricted. So yes, unbelievably dumb and useless. Rivaled in dumbness only by the EU Privacy Directive, AKA the "stupid EU cookie law".
